So For the past year I have printed my wedding photo-books through Blurb.
To all those newbies out there- learn from my mistakes. Do not use a photo book company to print your wedding albums. It just looks…cheap.
So yea.
It is time to put my big-girl panties on and move to a full-fledged, lay-flat, leather bound, smell-expensive ALBUM COMPANY.
Here are the Contenders:
Option #1:
Diversified Lab- at divlab.com Looks legit, and very reasonable for a 11×14 album. Album would end up costing me aprox $180.
Option #2:
Asukabook.com Aside from the fact that their name sounds like “A Sucky book” they seem pretty darn legit. Owned by Kubota (the famed producers of Kubota Photoshop Actions which I envy and adore) they are so Pro they aren’t even open to the public. That or they are super elite and arrogant. Not sure which. Don’t worry, I will leave no rock unturned in discovering their true identity. Anxiously awaiting my registration to go through I have no idea what their albums will cost. May $30 maybe $3,000. I’m rooting for the former.
Option #3:
Mpixpro – has a cool homepage, I’ll admit. Very creative. Something some of these other album companies could use a little help with. I like the sizing options here…again a “sign in” to find pricing…here we go again. But VERY fast processing. That’s a plus.
Option #4:
My solo Cut and Paste Project. I make a cardboard cover and print out the images at Costco. Little glue and snip-snip…voila! I’m liking the sound of this. Maybe for the eco-bride?
….and there goes my credibility. ;P
Further research is obviously needed. I will proceed into the album world with confidence and courage!!!
